... https://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/sae/19AUTP01/ ... Thanks for the magazine link. Haven't read good automotive magazine for a while. I've forgotten how much engineering been poured into making cars after reading the multiphysics simulator. Gone the days where cars just a shell of metal with expl...

... They're aiming for the trip to be no harder than the same trip in a petrol car... This is my main gripe. I think 'harder' has gone un-criticised. Before having my Leaf and no young kids, it would be easy for me to stay driving for the whole 4 hours without stops, and then quick fuel stop for 5 ...

I understand the logic of the spacing between fast chargers on major roads. When demand becomes higher , in the future, rather than double the number of chargers at these locations, wouldn't it be better to locate extra chargers in between? Echoing you here. I simply don't understand the current fi...

Hyundai has an official app Another wow. I'm impressed here :o :shock: To be honest, after owning Leaf for 3.5 years, the remote control for climate (i.e. turning on AC remotely) is the only thing useful (and somehow become a compulsory function for me these days). Everything else is nice to have (...

If anyone's got any questions about it they'd like to ask an owner feel free! Congrats!! Thinking to geek out connecting to the car via OBD-2? I can't seem to find standard Ioniq app out there (i.e. Google). Then again, it's unlike Leaf where you need one :lol: . I'm impressed how Hyundai advertise...

Hi Kim, If you don't need to travel long distance (a.k.a. city dweller only), then the imported version of 2nd hand Leaf will be perfect for you. Depreciation is definitely the biggest cost, dwarfing the fuel and maintenance cost. So, minimising depreciation is the key. Make sure you'll get the Niss...

Huh, must be composed by those researchers live in Melbourne or Tassie. So irrelevant for other users in Oz. Ability not to worry that one's battery degrade due to heat (instead of heating internal cabin issue) is the bees knees for Oz.

Thanks for sharing the progress. You really should run the Battery Test Centre technical team. Some of the results are riddled with technical issues (due to difficulties interfacing with BMS, whether OEM or non-OEM)

Carnegie Ceto seem solid on design and finances . Design yes, finances questionable. I have a colleague who is serious into share trading and has their shares for a while. After series of shares dilution, purchased EMC and sold again under price, sounds like a company who struggle keeping afloat fi...

OK, so I haven't managed to beat cj7hawk cost per km. After 40,000km and 5 years later, mine hovers around 5 ~ 6 cents per km . However, after looking cj7hawk video here , I don't think I can cope 1,500 commuting hours (eBike only to date) with that vibration and noise (trying to claim superiority h...

Simply put, DC connection has higher capital costs but lower line losses. I'm not sure I trust that articles author Hi Brendon, benefit in using DC transmission is already well documented. For example, here . Specific to the lower line losses argument, this is due to DC doesn't suffer from reactanc...

... And I was reading the other day about a 800kw standard. That's a lot of electrons...

Indeedy. I'm very interested to see whether DC microgrid will come into play due to this reason as well. Even Siemens already mentioning MVDC network for AEMO. Why not even go further down to LV network?
